I put about 7-10 miles on whatever I'm wearing a day 3/4 of which is usually outside so I usually get guards applied upon receipt. I saw another SFer post pictures of a G&G factory application so I asked Nick about it and the rest is history.

Worth the wait indeed, nice work man

Thanks everyone! Also thanks to Nick at Bespoke England for another excellent order!

They've got a decently serious chirp in the left heel, any advice on how to get rid of that? Does it just take time to eliminate?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Well worth the wait!

How much extra did the topy and toe taps cost?

Don't know about the topy, but last time I checked the metal toe taps were £75...

anyone done any G&G's in navy calf or midnight blue calf? I'd be interested in seeing pics.

I just can't damn decide what MTO's I wanna do!!!!

I really like the rioja and vintage oak.

Is rioja as stunning in person as it looks in the pics? I'm tempted to just do like 5 MTO's all in rioja

I just sent two pair back to G&G for taps to be fitted (on Decos) - I'll let you know what the cost turns out to be.

Also, how does the fit of the Deco compare to the fit of the TG73?

All the pic samples can be found at Nick's Bespoke-England tumblr:

You will have to go back a few pages to see some midnight blue calf, but there are many examples.

Regarding a MTO, it's a good dilemma to have

The Deco is more elongated, leading to a slightly roomier feel (IMHO). I normally take a UK8F in G&G, but UK8E worked for me in Deco.
